Gratitude and some information
In the past three months I have been on OH at least three times a day to gather any information that is available and believe me you all have been very helpful. Sometimes I will post a question and I receive replies. I want to say thank you to so many of you that share.
I am three months post op, had my surgeon's follow up visit and I have lost 56 pounds and so happy about that. Yes, I have had stalls and I learned on this site that will happen and I rolled with it. I am following my surgeon's plan to the "T" so it works if I work it.
Also to the ladies who have posted about bras....I took up the suggestions on going to Victoria's Secrets to get a fitting and I came out with a great fitting bra, 38DD. The bra was on the spendy side so I thought when I was at WalMart on Sunday I would look for my new size there, I found several in that size, picked one and it fits very well, true to form. So do I need to spend $48.00 on a good bra, NO, I have one that was spendy and now one that is not so spendy and I will probably roll that way.
To the folks who posted about "batwings", I have them too and because of your posts, I can live with them. I learned that I can help build up the muscle so it is not as bad.......but in the scheme of things, batwings will do because they are not going to physically harm me, I'll get over the being vain issue. Do my thighs wiggle, yes they do but again, so what. I live on the coast of Washington and we don't see too many nice days.
I grateful that my surgeon had a family member that was obese and he has dedicated his career into helping those of us that don't want to live that way anymore.
Too all of you......Thanks...........
